International Common Criteria Conference (ICCC) 2013

FBC invites you to exhibit at the International Common Criteria Conference (ICCC) taking place in Orlando, Florida. This is the first time since 2000 that the ICCC is taking place in the U.S.! The Conference has become the main marketing and meeting opportunity for all those involved in the specification, development, evaluation, and validation or certification of IT security.

Conference and Common Criteria Background
The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (aka. Common Criteria) was developed by the governments of Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, UK, and U.S. in the mid-90’s to unify the security evaluation standards existing at this time. By unifying security evaluation criteria, the objective was to avoid re-evaluation of products addressing international markets.

An arrangement which outlined the mutual recognition to reduce the need for re-evaluations of Common Criteria certificates was signed in May 2000. Read the full Arrangement on the Recognition of Common Criteria Certificates here.

The participants in this arrangement share the following objectives:

• to ensure that evaluations of Information Technology (IT) products and protection profiles are performed to high and consistent standards and are seen to contribute significantly to confidence in the security of those products and profiles;
• to improve the availability of evaluated, security-enhanced IT products and protection profiles;
• to eliminate the burden of duplicating evaluations of IT products and protection profiles;
• to continuously improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the evaluation and certification/validation process for IT products and protection profiles.

Attendees
In order to support the CC Recognition Arrangement, the CC Management Committee organized the annual International Common Criteria Conference (ICCC). This important event brings together over 400 participants including: Certification Bodies, Evaluation Laboratories, Experts, Policy Makers, and Product Developers interested in the specification, development, evaluation, and certification of IT security.
